Andrea, Yup. The statistics only help you so much. If you want to know more about my experience and choice feel free to send me a private message anytime. Also, there are way more people than me who hang out here who have been through this choice as Stage IIs. Hopefully they will be along soon to share their thoughts. Although I think the ones who come here that didn't choose rad come and go here more quickly than those who did, like me, and are still struggling with rhe consequences!
